doors are removed. Touching live parts may cause severe injury or even death.
Prevention: Before performing any work inside the humidifier, shut down the humidifier properly, as
described in
"Shutting Down the Unit" on page 37
. The unit must be connected to the mains only after all
mounting, installation, and maintenance work has been completed, checked for correct workmanship,
and the access panels/doors are closed and fastened securely. Secure the unit against accidental
power-up.
Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance or repairs on the unit.

damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Refer to ANSI/ESD-S20.20.
WARNING!

The humidifier is heavy. Injury, damage, or even death may occur if the humidifier falls or tips
over.
Prevention:
Ensure that the humidifier is secured properly. Use an appropriate lifting device, or request
assistance to raise the humidifier into position.
WARNING!
Risk to Hygiene and Health!
Improper and infrequent maintenance of the unit presents the risk of spreading pathogens (such
as bacteria , viruses, and parasites) originating from contaminated water, air, and equipment.
Failure to reduce the risks increases the likelihood of causing injuries (requiring medical care),
infection, and death.
